Government Plans Budget Press Relocation to Kartavya Bhawan 9 Under Central Vista
The government plans to relocate the Budget Press, the secure facility printing the annual Union Budget and Economic Survey, to the ground floor of the under-construction Kartavya Bhawan 9, where the Finance Ministry will move. This follows space and weight constraints that prevented moving the old heavy machinery from North Block to Kartavya Bhawan 1. A tender for lighter printing machines was floated in September 2025, but the new press was still under trial during the 2026-27 Budget printing, which occurred at North Block.
